In brief:
Crossed eyes

Strabismus is a general term for any deviation in the position of the eyes other than perfect alignment.

When a person with strabismus looks at you, one eye will be straight, the other could be pointing in any direction... In, out, up, or down. Sometimes variable or intermittent. The causes are too numerous to list. Pediatric ophthalmologists usually specialize in treatment of strabismus.

In brief:
"lazy" eye

It is usually due to an imbalance, or weakness of, the muscles which control one or both eyes. It is best diagnosed and treated early. For more info: http://www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001004.Htm.

In brief:
Lazy eye

When the eye muscles are in coordination between the two eyes then it causes imbalance. If the muscle is weak in one side then the other eye overrides it and causes the muscle to move to the stronger side to draft away. The eye muscles are controlled by the nerves from the brain. This needs immediate attention of an ophthalmologist.

In brief:
Misalignment of eyes

Any misalignment of the eyes constitutes strabismus, whether it is crossed eyes, wall eyes, or vertical.

Occasionally it is caused by poor vision in an eye (cataract, trauma etc.) but mostly it is a primary, independent problem. Strabismus in a young child (10 years) usually does not give diplopia (double vision) due to suppression of the vision in one eye. Adults with newly acquired strabismus d.

In brief:
Cross-eyed, lazy eye

Strabismus, commonly known as cross-eyed or wall-eyed, is a vision condition in which both eyes not align simultaneously under normal conditions.

Only 23% of babies are actually born with straight eyes, yet gradually as eye muscle coordination improves most infants straighten by 3 months. If not improved by 6 months, most pediatricians would suggest consultation with a pediatric eye specialist.

In brief:
Eyes not aligned

There are many types and causes, including mechanical, neurological, and refractive. If it occurs at a very young age, it can result in abnormal development of the visual system, known as amblyopia.

In brief:
Misaligned eyes

Most common in childhood, it comes about from excess hyperopia, or a failure of the coordination center in the brain to keep the eyes together. It commonly is accompanied by a lowered vision in one eye which can become permanent (amblyopia). A pediatric ophthalmologist should be seen quickly or a neuro-ophthalmologist if an adult.

In brief:
Eyes not aligned

Strabismus is when the eyes are not pointed in the same direction (not looking at the same thing) when the child is gazing around.

Normally, his eyes are aligned and looking in the same direction when he is gazing up, down, ahead, or to the left or right. It's ok for the eyes not to be aligned when looking to the extreme left or extreme right (the eye turning towards the nose can't move as far).
